Corrie's Simon Gregson ties the knot
If any of you are fans of Coronation Street you'll know the soap is
celebrating its 50th anniversary this week, with some explosive
episodes I know are going to keep me glued to the
screen.
But that's not all actor Simon Gregson had to celebrate recently, as
he walked down the aisle and said his vows last
month.
The star, who plays Steve McDonald in the show, tied the knot with
long-term partner Emma Gleave at St Bartholomew's church in Wilmslow, Cheshire, the Daily Star
reports.
Before he made the commitment it seemed Simon was keen to celebrate
with the lads, but in a very low-key fashion.
A guest at
The Cottons Hotel where he was staying said: "On the Friday night he was spotted
in the bar at the hotel having a few pints of Guinness with
pals."
The
newspaper also claimed he went to the establishment's spa the day before his
nuptials to enjoy a relaxing session in the hot
tub.
I must
say, it makes a change to see guys behaving sensibly before a wedding, as
normally I imagine them going wild on a trip to Amsterdam and turning up still
drunk to their ceremony. If you've ever seen the film The Hangover you'll know
what I mean!
Of course,
there's nothing wrong with marking the occasion but - and the same applies to
hen parties as well - I think there's better ways of enjoying your last few days
of freedom than drinking too much and doing something you'll
regret.
What is
your other half planning for his stag do?
